I'am looking for an eclipse-plugin for doxygen code documentation. I have found the eclox-plugIn ( http://home.gna.o开发者_运维问答rg/eclox/ ). I would like find out, how can it automatically generate a "empty" doxygen comment, which could be filled out later or what is the better choice for a documentation eclipse plugIn?

For example for a function: void f(int p1, int p2, ...), it should generate:

/*! \brief ...
    \param p1 ...
    ..
*/ 

PS I'm using for mainly the c/c++ languages

A different (better) approach than my previous answer:
In Window->Preferences->C/C++->Editor,
In the right tab look for "Documentation tool comments", and in "Workspace default" set doxygen.

Now you can type /** above a function and press return.

/**
int foo(int bar);

becomes

/**
 * 
 * @param bar
 * @return
 */
int foo(int bar);

See updated solution.

Old answer:
In eclipse helios in window->preferences you can do: c/c++->Code Style->Code Templates->Comments + Automatically add comments for new methods and classes

You can configure the comment style here, but it is not as smart as it should be. If you find something better, I would be very happy...

For Project specific settings
In Project->Properties->C/C++ General:

• Tick Enable project specific Settings
• Select Doxygen as Documentation tool

Then typing /** above the function/method and hitting enter will work. See here.
